A one-on-one free tutoring program is available in Washington County. Dr. Monie Hayes at the Kirkwood Washington Regional Center explains the adult literacy program pairs up a student and a volunteer to work on achieving individual goals in reading or computer proficiency. An open house is being held Monday at 6 p.m. at the Kirkwood Washington County Regional Center. Anyone interested in being a tutor is welcome to attend and those who would like to be paired up with a tutor are encouraged to contact Hayes. The program works with English Language Learners and many who are native English speakers wanting to improve their skills for personal or professional reasons.
